Gail Burke-Burns

Aug 13, 1941 - Dec 25, 2025

It is with great sadness that the family of Gail Burns announces her passing on Thursday December 25, 2025 at the age of 84. Gail was the beloved wife of the late Kevin Burns and a devoted mother to her two sons, Martin (Amanda) and Gary (Margaret). She was a cherished grandmother to Ashley (Cameron), Cassandra, and Hannah Burns; great-grandmother to Easton and Logan MacLaren; and a loving godmother to Amanda Burns. Gail is predeceased by her parents Martin Burke and Annie McAndrew, and daughter Linda Burns.
